So it was just a mistake of mine, sorry to soil curl's good reputation on a public ML, my bad.
Ah, no worries. I'm just glad things are good!
It is really common for the two to mismatch (e.g. because there was never a version for that release, the maintainer grabbed some version, did "make dist", adjusted files manually etc.). But apparently curl was rather early on bandwagon of good SCM practices.
I'd like to think that we've had that part pretty well nailed since a very long time back, partly thanks to us sticking to simple and straight-forward even for version control. And of course thanks to git for making it easy to do it right!
